IEEE and CSIRO Reach Transformative Open Access Read and Publish Agreement

IEEE and CSIRO Reach Transformative Open Access Read and Publish Agreement 1200 628 IEEE Open

IEEE and Australia’s national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have reached a Transformative Open Access Read and Publish agreement.

With this new agreement, CSIRO researchers will have access to IEEE’s premier collection of journals, conferences, and standards via the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, while granting affiliated corresponding authors the opportunity to publish their work in IEEE journals as open access. Under the terms of the one-year agreement, the article processing charges (APCs) required to publish open access will be covered by the license fees paid by CSIRO members, making the publishing process easier and more convenient for authors.

CSIRO members are also able to publish articles via open access in over 160 leading journals and magazines published by IEEE, making them instantly available and free to read by the general public.

About IEEE Institutional OA Agreements

Your institution has an OA publishing agreement with IEEE that makes it easier and more convenient for authors to publish open access. This type of agreement often includes a number of pre-paid article processing charges (APCs) to allow researchers to publish open access in eligible titles. Some institutional agreements have internal processes approving the use of APCs or limitations on the number of APCs available or the type of journals they can be used in. Please speak to your University Librarian or Open Access Administrator for more details and to check availability. Additional information can be found above regarding your institution’s OA agreement.
